MY OFFICIAL OLAPLEX UPDATE:
I skipped my Olaplex step 3 today since steps 1 and 2 were enough for now. I will try to remember to use step 3 during my next wash day.
By the way, that step #4 (shampoo) is the business.
It really is very concentrated, smells wonderful and cleaned my hair while maintaining softness. It's a hit and a keeper for sure.
Now as for step #5 - the rinse out conditioner):
My take on this one is that it did it's job as a rinse out, ie., strengthens and moisturizes. However, I believe it is the perfect conditioner for oilier hair types. If it had more slip than it did for our African American hair, it would not be suitable for oily hair.
So in my honest opinion, it was a perfect medium for both oily and dry hair. Now mind you, it did not leave my hair hard and dry. On the contrary, it had just enough moisture and just enough strengthening properties. So I would even go so far as to call it a balancing conditioner.
It is a hit for my hair. I just wished it came in 16 or 32 oz bottles because I can go through that 8 oz bottle with 3-4 washes alone. I will use it sparingly as best I can and try to get about 6 rinses out of it instead.
. I bought 4 of the pure base masques from Sheamoisture. I'll take a little coffee oil I made, along with some coffee essential oil, and add in some of my Ayurveda herbs one treatment session this fall/winter.

. I do appreciate the B-Day shout out.
